Here are the 13 best family Halloween costumes that might inspire you.

An elaborate Disney costume is a classic move.

While in office, former vice president Al Gore and his wife Tipper had a knack for creative Halloween costumes. In 1995, they went as Belle and the Beast from "Beauty and the Beast." If they wanted to complete the look, they could have made their kids dress up as Lumiere or Mrs. Potts.

Have a lot of small children? Peas in a pod.

What do you do for a family costume when you have four quadruplets less than three weeks before Halloween? Ed and Heather Lavich had a creative idea: make them all peas in a pod.

"The Wizard of Oz" offers a whole cast of characters to play with.

If you need to coordinate the costumes of a small group of people, while also making all of those costumes separate, consult fantasy movies. "The Wizard of Oz" offers a bunch of great, easily recognizable characters.

Or just go with "Star Wars" characters.

Like "The Wizard of Oz," "Star Wars" offers a group of great characters that can be grouped together, like Rey, Leia, and, uh, the Death Star.

Or go as "Harry Potter" characters.

Hogwarts students all wear the same black robes, so just pick one if you're going to go as a group. For the rest, you have characters like Voldemort, Dumbledore, and Professor McGonagall to choose from. J.K. Rowling's universe also offers plenty of magical animals to choose from if you want to bring your pets into it.

6/

Or go with a Pixar movie.

"The Incredibles," as Jessica Alba's family did here, is kind of cheating, because all of the costumes look the same. But if you can get a material that can "withstand enormous friction without heating up or wearing out" or is indestructible but "breathes like Egyptian cotton," then you're good.

The Peter Pan characters are also great, even if it's a little confusing to include Captain Hook in there.
